Tencent Set to Expedite AI Monetization, E-Commerce Development -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 14, 2025

0622 GMT - Tencent is set to expedite AI monetization and e-commerce development in 2025, Daiwa analysts say in a research note after hosting a meeting with Tencent management. The Chinese tech giant could introduce both new customer-facing applications and AI features in its existing applications. Meanwhile, e-commerce could become a new priority for Tencent's popular WeChat platform after the recent rollout of a gifting function within the app, Daiwa says. After its HK$112 billion share buyback in 2024, Tencent plans to recycle capital from its investment portfolio into reinvestments and boosting shareholder return, the investment bank says. Daiwa maintains a buy call on Tencent and keeps its target unchanged at HK$550.00. Shares are 3.4% higher at HK$378.00. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
